Several parents have approached us at the SNPA regarding the school using the pitch in Ardfield. Having such a resource unused and so close to the school is unfortunate, therefore we did some research into the situation.
We understand from the Council the school is not eligible to take over the pitch, however if a club were in situ then Scoil Nioclais could hire the pitch for the use of the school.There is an application process in the Council where interested clubs can apply and obtain the use of the pitch if they satisfy certain criteria.
However in order to do this, the pitch would have to be handed over to the council by Westbrook Housing and they are very keen to do this as soon as possible.
We hope that this process will proceed and in the near future Scoil Nioclais will have the option of using this great facility. As soon as we know more, we will update this blog!
